The Curricular Approach to Student Affairs: A Revolutionary Shift for Learning Beyond the Classroom
The curricular approach aligns the mission, goals, outcomes,
and practices of a student affairs division, unit, or other unit that works to
educate students beyond the classroom with those of the institution, and
organizes intentional and developmentally sequenced strategies to facilitate
student learning. In this book, the authors explain how to implement a
curricular approach for educating students beyond the classroom. The book is based
on more than a decade of implementing curricular approaches on multiple
campuses, contributing to the scholarship on the curricular approach, and
helping many campuses design, implement, and assess their student learning
efforts. The curricular approach is rooted in scholarship and the connections
between what we know about learning, assessment, pedagogy, and student success.
For many who have been socialized in a more traditional programming approach,
it may feel revolutionary. Yet, it is also obvious because it is
straightforward and simple.

The authors make the case for the curricular approach and provide a clear and succinct handbook for taking this step on your own campus. It was an essential guide as we worked on this over the last couple years.

The “real book” version of Learning Reconsidered 1 and 2. Good information, but repetitive if you’re familiar with LR1 and LR2.

Helpful for a higher education student affairs graduate program.

Good tool for new professionals entering the field and older professionals looking for new strategies. Only negatives were repetitive ideas/information/end goals. If you are a professional who regularly attends conferences, workshops, etc. It may not be the most provoking or exciting, but I still believe It is a good one to keep on your shelf
